Description
We a a Catalan/Dutch couple living in a beautiful old masia on top of a hill, in nature, 15 minutes by car from a village, Vidreres, and 20 minutes from Tossa de Mar and the beaches. We are situated in the heart of the incredibly beautiful, Costa Brava. Our place has an incredible view, 33 ha of woodland and is quiet and peaceful.
We rent out a holiday cottage right next to our house. We are looking for helping hands and a strong back to unweed our large garden, and clean in and around our house.& help with some light maintenance. Which will take about 10 days. if you work mornings and go explore the area in the afternoons!
If you travel with your own car or camper/van, which we prefer, you can park your campervan at our premises and of course use our bathroom and terrace and kitchen, although i, Jacqueline, will happily provide you with tasty vegetarian meals! You will love our place! Important: no smoking at all at Caulès!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

Help
We would love you to come and help because I, Jacqueline, work veeery slow because of arthrosis kicking in.... and Xavi works long days. In the garden there is plenty of cleaning up, planting, and weeding to do as well. Which some months will take about 3 or 4 days and sometimes 10 days if you work mornings and go explore the area in the afternoons/evenings. You will definately need a car to get to and from our house! But it is all worth it, the view is beautiful and you will have time to visit Girona, Figueres, Barcelona, the incredible costa brava beaches or any place else!! And good vegetarian meals for you!
